Apple Watch Not Charging-How to Fix?

The Apple Watch is a line of smart watches produced by Apple Inc. It incorporates fitness tracking, health-oriented capabilities, and wireless telecommunication, and integrates with iOS and other Apple products and services.

Because of its versatility, the Apple Watch is popular around the world. Just like other smart watches, the Apple Watch is also a wearable device which runs on a battery. Although the battery of the Apple Watch can run for up to 18 hours, it also needs to be charged.

The Apple Watch uses a wireless charging method. It uses a wireless sensor on the bottom of the watch to receive battery charging. It displays the battery status with a green lightning and a red lightning bolt.

• When you place your Apple Watch on the magnetic charging part, a green lightning bolt should appear on the screen.
• A red lightning bolt flashes on the screen if your watch needs to be charged.
• When you charge your watch, the red lightning bolt transforms into a green lightning bolt.
• If your screen is blank or if you see the charging cord indicator and a red lightning bolt on the screen, you need to charge your watch for up to 30 minutes.

In many conditions, the Apple Watch can charge normally and show a lightning bolt like above. However, some users have encountered the “Apple Watch not charging” issue, and this issue bothers them a lot.
